After I read the previous 4 books of this series, I could already predict that Kass and Tee will be my favourite couple.
I was impressed by all the actions and unexpected events that took place along this book; was always something happening that kept me engaged and captivated till the last page of the book.
Even if I wasn't Kass's fan in the previous books I did loved Tee and that was enough! I could understand better his motives for his unpleasant, vile and controlling character once I read maybe 80% of this book. Not all Alpha Heroes are perfect but once you know everything hidden behind their pretty face and bravado you just realised his actions are for the well-meaning of his love ones.
Was an amazing book for me! This is exactly my type of story I enjoy reading! 5 stars for diversity, emotions and suspense!

Anna del Mar does it again in Kass, the fifth novel in her Alpha Heroes series, and we finally get a chance to meet the mysterious, secretive, matchmaking Liberty Rose (aka Tee), a constant character throughout the series without us ever actually meeting her, and she turns out to be one kick-butt heroine and a perfect foil for dominant and protective Kass. Pairing her with Kass, (aka Ice), made for plenty of sizzle, plenty of action, and plenty of angst, which made for one exciting, suspenseful, sexy, and amazing, 5-star read.
If you've not already started to read this series, I strongly suggest you do so. While this novel works as a standalone, and while Kass and Tee are the primary characters, the rest of the Battleson brothers also appear in this novel, and without fully knowing their history and Tee's involvement in their lives, although it is touched upon in this novel, does this series, and you as a reader a disservice.
This novel also has one of the most complex plots in the series thus far, as Kass learns that Tee has disappeared and no one seems to have a clue where she is, so, going against the standard Battleson Brothers technique of teamwork, Kass sets off on his own to find and rescue Tee, and what a harrowing, nail-biter of suspense this novel becomes. So much of what does happen in this novel is surprising and even shocking, it makes it difficult to mention any of the complicated details which would be spoilers, but I can tell you that finding and rescuing Tee is just the start of what she and Kass will be facing in this novel, because just as you think everything is just fine and the HEA ending is near, Ms. del Mar sets that thought on its ear in ways you won't see coming, and she does it brilliantly.
So, if you're looking for a novel that grabs you from the get-go and keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout, this is that novel. Even as someone who has read the preceding 4 novels, this one really was almost impossible to put down, and I can't recommend it or this series highly enough.
Many thanks to the author for my copy of this novel. The opinions expressed are my own.

Wow! This series has been an emotional and edge of the seat ride...Kass does not deviate. I can't wait for Sebastian's story now. And hopefully Trevor's too!! A must read book and series.

A tale of two parts.
Throughout the first part of this book I kept wondering whether to bother finishing it. I had enjoyed the previous books in this series, liking the main characters, rooting for them to overcome the hurts of their pasts and the obstacles they were currently faced with. This one? Not so much. Kass - A.K.A. Ice - was cold, obnoxious, dictatorial, and not at all someone I wanted to spend time with, especially without the leavening presence of his brothers and their wives.
It took a long time for the ice to crack and for shadows of the real person to emerge. From that point the plot went racing along with dangers and set-backs, treachery and traps galore. When Kass’s back story is finally revealed, it proves as shocking as those of his brothers. It explains how and why he became the man he was, even as he is learning to be the man he should have been.
This fifth book in the Alpha Heroes series wraps up the stories of the five surviving Battle Brothers and their mysterious nemesis Zero Tango. The series is now continuing with Sebastian, friend, ally, and now employee.
A word of warning for those like me who prefer not to read graphic details of sexual encounters - there is a great deal of that in this book. I ended up flipping past way too many pages.

Kass is quite spectacular when it comes to drama, intrigue, suspense and passion. It's by turns both exciting and heart pounding in anticipation of what will happen next. There's some shocking revelations, manipulations of the highest order and a collective effort to not only thwart but vanquish Zero Tango now they've finally discovered his identity. There are also some tear inducing moments so be prepared with a few tissues.
Kass finally goes after his woman although he'd argue that Tee is not his. Tee, up until now, has been somewhat of a mystery but we've learned some things about her through snippets of remembrances. Kass and Tee have to figure out how not to be at odds all the time and learn to work together. He has to finally accept that she's intelligent, capable and savvy. It takes a close call for him to finally see her in the right light. When he does their love burns hotter and brighter than ever.

I've been eager to read Kass and Tee's book for such a long time because I knew it would slay me in the best possible way, and that's exactly what it did. Anna del Mar is one of my go-to, one-click authors and I have loved this series so much! Kass has always been the most enigmatic of the Battleson brothers, so I really enjoyed getting to know him a lot more in this book. He let down the walls he had built around him, and all this time he was just waiting to find his way back to the one and only woman he's ever loved. We finally discovered the identity of the series antagonist Zero Tango, and learning who he was and why he did it was mind blowing. I couldn't read this book fast enough, but I didn't want it to end. Another fantastic, five star read.

This is the first time I have read anything by Anna del Mar and I really liked this series. Each book is about a different man who had a terrible childhood and ended up in child detention together where they formed a bond. They ended up being lucky and being adopted by the same amazing couple and all became brothers. All of the different brothers go into different branches of the military and become receive high positions like Navy Seal. Once they come back they create a company where they are able to sell products that they thought of while on tour but behind that company they are also a group that works to help still defend the good and our country. Each book contains a romance for each of these men who believe they are to hard to deserve love.

kass & liberty: triggers- domestic abuse, drug trafficking, money laundering, kidnapping, blackmail, foster care, bullying. wow, now that's how you finish a set of books. while this story started really slow and the bickering between kass and liberty was often annoying, it also maintained a lot of suspense and constant plot twists. I'm curious about where the series will go now. but do far, this book is my favorite.

Another amazing read
Ahh, Kass! Such a well crafted wrap up to why Ice is Ice. This is action packed and a fast paced read, and I really enjoyed it! (But, I will say, still not a huge fan of Tee.) Well written characters and a very engaging story that I will miss!!
I strongly recommend that you read this series in order to get the most from this story.
5 stars!!

Oh my word!
Kass and Tee’s relationship has been bubbling under the whole series but comes to a triumphant conclusion in this the end of the Battleson brothers stories. It is not the end of the series and I look forward to Seb’s HEA, he deserves it.
This has been a beautifully knit together series of books and I highly recommend it.

A must read
This series has been an amazing rollercoaster ride of emotions and suspense. Kass is no slouch in either of those categories. So glad that we got to share in Kass and Tee's story! Can't wait to see the Battleson Brothers again.

All I can say is Wow, I love Anna del Mar's Alpha Heroes Series. Kass's book is the ending of the series so if you are going to read this series start at the beginning. Each book has it's HEA but also lots of suspense.
Great read!

The heroine ruined this book for me. She was supposed to be stubborn or strong-willed, but came across as an exhausting PITA. I was really looking forward to this book, only to be disappointed by how she was written.

Alpha Heroes, Book Five, a really great read, another adventure for one of the brothers a very emotional story with a genuine love finally happening for him, we are nearly at the finish to this series

Good way to finish out ZT but I wasn’t please with the way Kass & Tee got there happily ever after. Kass deserved good reunion with Tee. They both endured so much. I am looking forward to Sebastian story though.
August 24, 2025
Great story, strong characters. Not a 5 star because of Kass going alone on a mission without his brothers. I loved the Battleson team, and 1/3 of this story was just Kass. But I did love the series!

Perfect
